Amp Questions

You didn't hop on the solid state train yet, did you? I've had a lot of experience with the frontmans in general. In my town, I think every guitarist has had the 25R and a lot have cycled through a 212. It seems your a pedal man like myself and your right in saying you want a good clean. Thats your bread and butter. From my experiences, most solid state amps sort of lack on the clean attributes, especially for a nice warm bluesy sound. Seriously, save a few more hundred or shop about and go tube. Go try every tube amp until you find what your looking for and save up for it, best investment ever. As for trying to change speakers, I don't know how much it could help the Fender 212 but it seams like, unless if you really know speakers, amps, and what your going for, will be a huge headache. Trust me, if you want a really solid clean that you can really crank for a live performance without it getting chinsy at high volume, go tube, and shop around. Don't rush into it, big mistake.
